If you just can't wait for the three-day Black Friday holiday shopping period to kick off, get over to Wal-Mart this Saturday for some special deals.
Among the noteworthy TV specials: a 46-inch Sanyo 1080p LCD HDTV for $798, which is several hundred dollars cheaper than most 1080p LCDs of this size we've seen. Sanyo models haven't been the best performers in our LCD TV Ratings (available to subscribers), but may be a decent choice for those on a budget.
Other Saturday-only deals include a 15.4-inch Compaq notebook computer (CQ50-139WM) for $298, a Sony PlayStation 3 (80GB) game system, along with a $100 gift card, for $399, a 2GB Sony Walkman MP3 player for $49, a Sony PSP portable game system, with a Ratchet and Clank game and $30 gift card, for $199, and a Samsung 7MP digital camera (S760) bundle, which includes a case, rechargeable battery and charger, for $89.
Wal-Mart.com is also running a number of online specials, including two TV deals: a 55-inch Olevia 1080p LCD TV for 1,398, and a 32-inch Magnavox 720p LCD TV with integrated DVD player for $598. Olevia TVs have done well in our Ratings and have typically delivered good value, although the company is now in bankruptcy protection. Magnavox sets have also generally delivered fine picture quality for the money in our Ratings.
Among the other online deals:
- a Nintendo DS Lite holiday bundle for $149
- a Flip Video Ultra digital camcorder bundle (with a tripod and USB extension cables) for $129
- and a Garmin nuvi 750 portable GPS unit for $270.
The in-store specials are available in limited, specified per-store quantities, and the online deals are available only for as long as supplies last.
Stay tuned for more electronics deals as we get closer to Black Friday.
